The Stalham Area Business Forum ‘s first Street event for 2024 is nearly here.
After a very successful 2023 Stalham Fringe this fun festival is back. This free festival of Music and Dance takes place in Stalham on Sunday 19th May.
A wide range of talented local performers are joining us in the two inside venues, St Marys Church and the Town Hall. In addition, with dancers, musicians, and singers in the High Street there will be loads to do and see and without paying a penny. Performers and times of acts will be displayed outside each venue, so visitors can get free entertainment all day, starting at 11am.
The High Street will be closed from 10am to allow 30 plus stalls to set up and then residents and visitors can visit in a traffic free space and enjoy the day. With a variety of food, drink, and craft stalls there should be plenty of variety for all. Cakes, savouries, bakes, gin, beer, rum, cider, sweets, ice cream, fudge, pickles and jams, doggy treats, fresh meat and burgers will be offered alongside local crafts and plants and new garden sculptures.
Performers joining us on the day include Holt Ridge Morris, The Pan Afro Band, Prima Duet, The Scratch Band, Off the Cuff (Mary and John) Eastern Folkloric Dance group, Twos Company, The Reedwarblers, Carpe Nocturne, The Blakeney Old Wild Rovers, The Seaside Ukulele Band, Richard Pearce, The Beautiful Cuban Wheel Salsa group, Dumisani Drummers, Dance Egyptian and the Black Hat Saxophone Quartet. Street organ Lucy will be playing in the High Street, along with local musicians. And there may be more…
Local pubs and cafes as well as independent shops will be open on the day. Walk along our Victorian High Street and see what’s happening. The Firehouse Museum will be open as well as The Museum of the Broads situated on Stalham Staithe.
This Festival is unique to North Norfolk and will give everyone a full 6 hours of entertainment and fun without having to travel far from home. This is the day to come out and enjoy local talented musicians and dancers, with many Stalham folks able to walk from their homes and free parking for visitors. For visitors there will be parking at Stalham High School, Stalham Staithe Surgery, the NNDC car park and for up to 3 hours in Tescos for visitors, so who would stay at home?
